Product Overview
Designed for the scale of modern research operations
AnyCage+ provides rack-scale home cage monitoring for facilities running large cohorts or multi-cage operations. Where AnyCage Lite handles individual cages, AnyCage+ is built to cover entire racks seamlessly — delivering continuous animal temperature data without disruption.
At the heart of the system is a controller-based architecture that aggregates data from every cage antenna. Collect data locally or stream in real-time to the VivoTraq cloud for remote dashboard access and automated alerts without on-site presence.
Antennas come in 2″×5″ rectangular and 3″ round formats. Antennas mount magnetically or via rack-specific clips cleanly onto rack hardware with no adhesive, tools, or modifications. UID UCT-2112 temperature-sensing microchips power individual animal identification and temperature data at ±0.1°C accuracy across the 30–46°C physiological range.
Key Capabilities
Everything needed for rack-scale monitoring
AnyCage+ combines hardware, software, and cloud infrastructure into a single deployable system — no custom integration required.
Real-time insights with VivoTraq Cloud
Stream continuous temperature data to a local server or the VivoTraq cloud for remote dashboards, automated alerts, and multi-site collaboration.
Clip-mount antennas
Antennas mount magnetically or via rack-specific clips cleanly onto rack hardware — no tools, no adhesive, no rack modifications. Available in 2″×5″ rectangular and 3″ round formats.
No PC required — IT-free deployment
Self-contained controller aggregates data from every antenna on the rack — no per-cage computer, no IT ticket, no custom middleware. Plug in, connect to your network, and start streaming.
±0.1°C accuracy
UID UCT-2112 temperature-sensing microchips deliver lab-grade temperature readings across 30–46°C — the full physiological range for rodent research.
IACUC-aligned welfare
Non-invasive, undisturbed monitoring supports the 3Rs refinement principles and provides a documented record of refined-care compliance across all monitored animals.

Pricing & Kits
Modular kits — scale as you go
Start with the 8-cage starter kit and expand incrementally with smaller add-on kits as your cohort grows.
AnyCage+ 8-Cage Starter Kit
Everything needed to start monitoring up to 8 cages
The starter kit includes the AnyCage+ controller and enough hubs, readers, and antennas to monitor 8 cages. Add expansion kits as needed to scale to full rack-scale deployments (96+ cages).
